HSE & Sustainability
Spain has granted permits covering a swath of the mountain range to Mantle8 for natural hydrogen and helium exploration a month after France granted the company similar permits.
Crude benchmarks spiked amid concerns that the US-Iran ceasefire is collapsing as commercial shipping comes under renewed attack.
This paper proposes a shift in the timing of risk modeling to much further back within the job life cycle, recognizing each function’s role in the mitigation of risk.

A decade ago, SPE defined key R&D and technology challenges for the industry. To address the more uncertain environment of the 2020s and beyond, we have updated the grand challenges via a January 2023 SPE workshop. -
This paper discusses a study that aimed to accelerate the conversion of CO2 and methane through biological means.
-
This paper examines the performance of the macroalga Macrocystis pyrifera in thermal conversion through pyrolysis as a potential biomass for hydrogen production.

Because the basics of CCS and CCUS are mostly familiar to a large part of the readership, I am choosing to bring to your attention the summary of those articles that are devoted to approaches other than or beyond CCS, even if they have to climb further on the development ladder. These include bio-based approaches, geothermal, and use of hydrogen as a substitute fuel.

This study catalogs global gas/oil ratio data to identify currently produced light crude oils that could be rendered carbon neutral through the direct-air-capture mechanism.
-
Research team pushes toward a framework for managing millions of abandoned oil and gas wells.
-
This paper describes a simple and intuitive digital health, safety, and environment (HSE) application designed to raise awareness of occupational health and safety and sustainably promote responsible worker behavior.

Putting into action an agreement signed in 2022, the companies will collaborate on the project to test the emerging technology for producing geothermal energy.
-
SPE Journal is now accepting papers for a new special issue focused on lower-carbon prospects of petroleum engineering. Submissions are invited about novel research on petroleum engineering aspects of lower-carbon energy production, emphasizing subsurface technologies related to CCUS, geothermal energy, subsurface hydrogen, offshore energy facilities, and other lower-…
